in the future, I hope a documentary will be made about Levitation Room. Each member has a unique story of growing up in L.A., coming together through the city’s punk scene, and now touring the world rocking the stage with their psychedelic jams

their sound is soaked in echo and reverb, paying tribute to the late ‘60s psych movement while incorporating the realities of Los Angeles

The first time I saw Levitation Room perform was at a small venue 8 years ago, and their music felt like watching time bend. I had the opportunity to sit down with them and write a short piece on their psychedelic musical journey
